Yes, what you say is correct -- which is why I've chosen a time when I am NOT in a
critical production cycle to do the upgrade!
I encountered the problem with four channel output, asked about it other places online and
eventually here, and learned that it was due to a kernel bug in the Ubuntu version that I
had been running. At that time, I was in the middle of a busy semester and couldn't
afford downtime, so I waited until my semester break -- early in the semester break. The
concert is not until late September or early October, just shy of three months.
Point being, I didn't do this upgrade on the spur of the moment. I did it to solve a
specific problem, I timed it to allow plenty of lead time before the show, and I even
installed 12.04 to a live USB stick to test before committing my HD to the upgrade.
Next... the new thread about what I really need. Maybe let's close this thread. Issues
with jackdbus in 12.04 have been identified and seem to be the culprit.

I upgraded my
system on the recommendation of this mailing list,
because of a kernel bug that prevents four channel output on my device
in 10.04. I need four channels for a concert in a few months. So it's
either upgrade or cancel the concert.
Don't upgrade during a production and before doing an upgrade, backup
your stable Linux.
